In this paper, we report on a first estimate of the contribution of galaxies to the diffuse extragalactic background from the far-UV to the submm, based on semi--analytic models of galaxy formation and evolution. We conclude that the global multi--wavelength picture seems to be consistent provided a quite important fraction of star--formation be hidden in dust--enshrouded systems at intermediate and high--redshift. We show that, according to such models, galaxies cannot stand as important contributors to the background hydrogen-ionizing flux at high-redshift unless neutral hydrogen absorption sites are clumpy and uncorrelated with star forming regions.We briefly discuss the robustness of such a result.
